    If the delinquent coowner, before the expiration of the 
 time, shall refuse or fail to contribute and pay the 
 proportionate share due, together with the interest and cost of 
 publication, as and when herein and in the notice provided, the 
 delinquent's coowners interest in the lease shall thereafter

 the amount due under the notice, represented by their respective 
 interests in the lease, with the same force and effect, as to
